Itching during pregnancy

Hello again!!

I'm nine weeks pregnant and for the last couple of weeks ive had really bad itchiness on the back of my calfs and around my knee area, its driving me nuts.  Its worse at night and this morning i noticed i had a rash on my back, but i have no idea how long the rash has been there.

Does anyone know what this could be, is itching like this common?

That is weird, thanks for letting me know, im glad im not the only one!!  I think i will try some anti itching cream, if that doesnt work then im afraid i'll have to chop them off :)

For some reason, it is very common for pregnant women to get a HEAT RASH....which does itch terribly..I had it with both of my pregnancies.
